Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s efforts to restore the military are appreciated, but those injured by the COVID-19 shot are feeling abandoned.
After being forced to take two doses of the Moderna COVID-19 shot to remain in the Army in 2021, Karolina Stancik, now 25 years old, has suffered three heart attacks, a stroke, an emergency pacemaker surgery, neurological maladies, the contemplation of suicide, and other adverse events. In October 2023, it was determined that her debilitating heart injury did, in fact, occur “In Line of Duty” and was linked to the shot.
Retired Navy Medical Service Corps officer Lt. Ted Macie told The Gateway Pundit he is not surprised.
As the whistleblower who exposed a significant rise in incidents of myocarditis, pulmonary embolism, ovarian dysfunction, and more across the Department of Defense (DoD) following former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s now-rescinded 2021 COVID-19 shot mandate, he said, “I know others who were injured from the shot, and I know people who died from it—and the latter can’t even claim to be vax injured because they’re no longer here to do so.”
On the heels of Defense Secretary Hegseth determining that the shot was “unlawful as implemented,” TGP spoke to Stancik. She wants Hegseth to acknowledge “someone’s unlawful actions caused injury … severe injury … and even death.”
The former member of the Army National Guard questions “what will be done about the unlawful actions that caused grave injury, destroyed lives, and even led to death in some cases?”
What support is there for people like her? And what consequences will there be for those who unlawfully implemented the shot?
She admitted that not every person who supported the shot mandate knew it was unlawful, but after the advice of countless service members facing separation informed them, many willfully violated the law.
The author of this article has reviewed dozens of Religious Accommodation Requests that also spelled out the illegalities of the COVID-19 shot mandate to their chain of command.
For example, service members, including Stancik, expected but did not receive informed consent, nor were they ever offered a “vaccine” approved by the Federal Drug Administration.
Rather, they were subjected to an experimental shot approved for emergency use only and were told they “might have some cold symptoms” as a result.
So, as one example, what about the military leaders that knowingly violated the law after being fully informed about 10 U.S.C. § 1107a at the start of the mandate? “We have to start with proper investigations to find out who they were,” Stancik pleaded. “My patient rights, my human rights, were violated at minimum.”
And if SecDef Hegseth genuinely believes the mandate was “unlawful as implemented,” she said, “a crime has been committed and there must be Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) action taken against those who broke the law.”
There must be a penalty for their actions, even some that might lead to courts-martial.
“Despite the fact they broke the law,” Stancik said, “we cannot violate their rights and deny due process in return. We must act lawfully to correct this.”
For her, it is imperative for people to understand “a lot of our lives have been completely destroyed by what people claimed for a few years to be lawful.”
If this is truly no longer the case, injured service members are waiting in the background for SecDef Hegseth to publicly address the issue of the physical harms the mandate caused.
“At the end of the day, there’s so many people who lost their jobs, kicked out of the military,” Stancik shared. “But it’s not just the people who lost their jobs; there are injured service members who are being ignored,” she lamented.
